Amazing Experience with Chef Simone - We had so much cooking with Chef Simone and her daughter! She taught us not only how to cook multiple traditional Brazilian dishes but also about the Brazilian culture. The dishes we made were delicious and I’ll still be thinking about that fish stew. It was worth every penny and we would recommend this experience to anyone who comes to Rio. Thank you Chef Simone for such an awesome time!

This experience was more than just a cooking class -- it was an opportunity to explore some of Brazil's culture and history through its cuisine. Chef Simone was very knowledgeable, super friendly, and overall a very pleasant person to spend an evening with. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys good drinks, great food, and amazing company. It was an absolute delight.
